Landfill Site Selection Using Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation in ILWIS
From CUOSGwiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchIntroduction
Using land efficiently and in accordance with the site’s suitability for the intended purposes is a fundamental principle of sustainable development. Site suitability is a function of site conditions and other factors (environmental, socio-economic etc) . Carefully chosen selection criteria can efficiently screen the set of potential sites. Selection criteria focus on the task of choosing an appropriate and, ideally, the best site for a particular land use. This project deals with the use of Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation module in ILWIS software, as a decision support tool for identifying the suitable sites for landfill in the City of Ottawa.
